Decide on a “reply by” date:  When you are down to the final stages of planning it is very important to find out how many people are coming. First of all, decide whether you’re going to utilize reply cards or just provide an RSVP phone number. After that, decide upon a “reply by” date that is three or four weeks ahead of the wedding. You might not need quite this amount of leeway, but keep in mind people are busy and may forget to reply in time.

Plan all aspects at one time: When you’re designing the envelopes, invitations, and respond cards, get it done all together. This way, all elements will complement each other, and you won’t have to worry about not being able to find the right-sized envelopes. This is where buying wedding invitation kits comes in handy. Everything matches but still leaves room for your own creativity. If you go the route of buying a wedding invitation kit, be sure to purchase a little more paper than you need in the event there are mistakes. This will avoid any last minute fixes and will help relieve stress.

The wording on your invitations is an important consideration. Try to make your textual content classy and conventional. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure of the exact information to include. There are plenty of helpful cheat sheets online. Just make sure that all the practical details are clear.  When you’re done, be sure you proofread every detail. In addition, get some one else to proof the text for punctuation and spelling. It’s very disheartening to see dozens of invitations printed up with a typo!

Choose the perfect font: It is crucial to use typeography which matches the design of the wedding invitations for both DIY and wedding invitation kits.  It is every bit as important for the invitees to be able to read the text without effort. Keep in mind that older guests don’t have the eyesight that you do! Find the perfect balance between the two. The font you choose can also reflect the type of wedding.
